Grow Veggies In-Person Program (Saturdays)

Our In-Person Grow Veggies program is a 7-month program that starts on Zoom while the weather’s chilly, and moves to in-person, hands-on sessions once it warms up, usually by week 5 or 6.

The program fee of $480+HST includes 30 weeks of program instruction, handouts and resources, a share of the harvest (amongst those in attendance), and everything that we’ll need to grow vegetables in our team garden plot including seeds, supplements, tools, etc. The in-person sessions take place on our urban farm at Downsview Park, which is easily accessible by car or public transit. Classes start at 10am each week, the online sessions end at noon, and the in-person classes end around 12:30pm. In-person classes happen rain or shine, but may be cancelled if there is high risk of lightning or heavy rain.

Please visit our website for more details about our Grow Veggies programs prior to registering, as our program fees are non-refundable*: https://homesteadto.com/program/

* Note: We're currently in the process of extending the lease for our teaching garden at Downsview Park. In the event that things fall through and we have to cancel this program, full refunds will be issued.
